Schlafly, the leading critic of the feminist movement, shared her opinions on the views of feminism."I object to being lied to," Schlafly said. "That's just what it is. Feminism is a lie."

The problem is the chip on the shoulder attitude feminists often take in regard to society. Schlafly said feminists have been fighting Congress over liberation for 1 0 years, and they keep getting defeated. "I just want to know what they expect to be liberated from," she said. "I'll tell you what they want. They want liberation from their home, husbands, family and children."Schlafly said women should not be put down in modern times; they should be conscious about what is going on around them, but they should not fight against society.
